Literature teacher, to a group of my classmates: Could you explain to me why [my friend] is interested in America of 1950s and 60s?

Me, listening to this going down, with my interest in America of 1920s:

#random.dusty #life fabric snippets #i've been thinking in my head on how to explain to her why i am personally interested in this period without sounding #like a madman #context: there was an assignment to write 'which historic period i like and why'. i didn't do it bcuz i don't have the literature #material necessary in mind (the writings require at least two arguments from literature and i've just started The Great Gatsby) #and because i'm lazy #anyway. today we had the analysis/grading of those assignments and another group got my friend's work #the friend in question is the mvp in everything btw. hydrogen bomb of the school #she helped out with suggestions on material about 1920s this year! very knowledgable person #the main point of this story is that the teacher wasn't convinced by her argument (friend used The Catcher In The Rye as an #example of why this time period is interesting to her) and now i'm sitting here with Gatsby and gay casino workers like #*chuckles* i'm in danger
